FlyteComms Flight Tracker / Flight Status Tool…I keep hearing about tail number blocking. What exactly does this mean?
NBAA recently instituted an aircraft tail number blocking program to allow aircraft owners and operators to have their aircraft blocked in the data stream in order to insure privacy. Each data vendor is responsible for blocking these aircraft, and every 30 days, NBAA sends each vendor a list of aircraft tail numbers to block. FlyteComm blocks these aircraft in such a way that that the aircraft still appears on the display with all relevant data tag information except the call sign, which is changed from the aircraft’s call sign to “GA”. In addition, FlyteTrax also has an alias system that allows an owner or operator to block its aircraft but still see them on its display through the use of a pass code.
